Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

Vegetable oil, for the pan
1 shallot, finely diced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups coconut milk
1 cup short-grain rice
Neutral oil, for the pan
3 cloves garlic, minced
1-inch piece ginger, grated
1 teaspoon sambal
Kosher salt
3 scallion ends, finely chopped
1 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 lime, zest and juice
Olive oil, for the pan
1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 fillets mahi-mahi

Steps:

  • For the coconut rice: Heat the oil in a medium saucepot over medium heat. Add the shallots and salt and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the coconut milk and rice and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and cover with a lid. Cook for about 15 minutes. Remove lid and fluff the rice.
  • For the pineapple glaze: Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add oil to coat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook until soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Be sure to stir often because the sugars will burn quickly! Then add the sambal and salt. Add the scallions and cook until soft, about 2 more minutes. Then, add the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard and lime juice and zest. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Cook until reduced by one-quarter and thick and glossy, about 10 minutes.
  • For the mahi-mahi and peppers: Heat a grill pan to medium high. Coat the grill pan in olive oil. Add the peppers and onions and cook until browned, slightly charred and beginning to soften. Move the peppers to the side of the grill pan. Add a bit more olive oil. Salt the mahi-mahi on both sides. Sear the fish on each side until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Coat the mahi-mahi with the pineapple glaze using a pastry brush. Flip the fish and coat generously on the reverse side. Cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from the pan and serve with the coconut rice and grilled peppers. Aloha!

MAHI MAHI WITH A PEAR AND JALAPENO CHUTNEY



Mahi Mahi With a Pear and Jalapeno Chutney image

DH and I made this easy recipe from my "The New Legal Seafoods" cookbook a few nights ago. We opted to prepare the mahi mahi in our stovetop grill pan, which worked well. I halved the recipe with great success, though I only needed one pear. According to the recipe, the fruit chutney also works well with swordfish, tuna, snapper, and even pork and will keep for several days if refrigerated. However, it cautions that if you are going to save extra sauce, omit the mint until just before serving.

Time 43m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
1/3 cup chopped red onion
2 -3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1/3 cup sugar
1 -2 teaspoon lemon zest
5 medium-hard pears, peeled and diced (about 2 cups)
3 tablespoons chopped scallions, both white and green parts
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons diced red peppers
2 -3 tablespoons julienned of fresh mint (optional)
2 lbs mahi mahi

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large, nonreactive saucepan and add the onion. Cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute.
  • Add the orange and lemon juices, wine, sugar, and lemon zest. Cook over high heat, stirring frequently, until the juices are reduced by half.
  • Stir in the pears. Continue cooking over medium-high heat until the pears are cooked through, but still have some texture, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Place the mixture in a bowl and let cool. Stir in the scallions, jalapeno, red pepper, and mint (if using).
  • Mahi mahi fillets can be thick, so cut them cross-wise into 1 inch thick pieces, if necessary. Oil the fillets and broil or grill until done. It is unnecessary to turn the fish.
  • Remove from the heat and top each serving with at least 1 Tb of the chutney.
